In the picture I show you some of my creations I have been working on.
There are drawings that are ready to move on to a larger base, most of them
and that are destined for oil, acrylic and pastel paintings.
There are also others of my drawings that will remain as drawings and I have
to work on them more by giving them volumes, etc. or combine them Maria del Vallehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15468257778804846151noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3937633266894377277.post-35720562935694346432023-04-10T12:56:00.000+02:002023-04-10T12:56:24.058+02:00Tricot d'art Avril 2023

This drawing that I am showing you, took me several hours to make and I
started from an old photo that I drew on a grid.
I used graphite pencils, soft and malleable eraser, Tombow Mono zero which
is a very fine eraser similar to a ballpoint. Also I used Strathmore paper
from Bristol. The work measures 22 cm wide x 29.5 cm high.
